This 9-day Machame route gives you nine mountain days on Kilimanjaro, with additional acclimatisation nights at Shira and Karanga. Begin in rainforest, cross the Shira Plateau and continue via Lava Tower, Barranco Wall and Barafu before the summit attempt and Mweka descent. The longer programme gives your group more time between stages; your guide adjusts each day to weather and wellbeing.

Compare all Kilimanjaro climbing prices
Plan the 9-day Machame route around your walking experience and the time you can allow for preparation. The extra nights create a less compressed schedule, but the climb remains a demanding high-altitude journey. Tell us about recent hikes and any previous altitude experience when you enquire. Your guide monitors the group and may change the programme when conditions or wellbeing require it. Summit success is never guaranteed. Before booking, compare this itinerary with the shorter Machame options in our route guide. Check how many mountain nights each proposal includes, where the extra nights are placed and which town arrangements are separate. This helps you compare the actual programme rather than the headline price alone.
